Dec 12 @ 11:00 am – 11:00 pm

Join Allison for her best selling, intermediate level social media course! This course focuses on efficiently marketing your business on Instagram and Facebook. Advance registration is required, so that Ali can review your social media presence + bring targeted feedback to the workshop.
